Antique Cast Iron "Sad Iron" Made in Geneva Illinois between 1830 to 1880 W. H. HOWELL COMPANY, was in business from 1830 to 1880. Please view the pictures, they give a lot of information! This iron has a star on top, I can't tell what the number is. Nor do I have a scale, so I just know it's heavy! It would make a nice door stop! Or for a collector of Antique Irons. They heated the iron on their stove and relied on the heavy mass of cast iron to retain that heat. That had to have made for a rough day or ironing! Sad irons got their name from the English term "Sad" meaning heavy. Sad irons weighed as much as ten pounds. PLEASE NOTE: My pre-owned items are sold “as-is”. Vintage pieces have a history and may have flaws in
them. There may be some minor use marks: light brown spots, utensil marks, paint or gild loss. Which
is normal for vintage or antique. I do try to describe major marks: crazing, chips or scratches.

I also have Collectible items.

The non vintage items, are also sold "as is".

My new items will have tags on them, even if they are new vintage. CROSS POSTED SKU 39
